WHAT HAS CHANGED
No significant changes to the forecast.
KEY MESSAGES
- A few leftover showers possible this evening, otherwise drying out tonight followed by sunshine and seasonably mild conditions Friday.
- Cooler this weekend. Risk for showers as a low pressure passes by offshore.
- Becoming warmer for most of next week. Although, unsettled conditions return toward the end of next week.
DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...A few leftover showers possible this evening, otherwise drying out tonight followed by sunshine and seasonably mild conditions Friday.
Bulk of shower activity has lifted to the north and east. Still some leftover drizzle and patchy fog which will improve by late afternoon. We can't rule out a spot shower this evening as mid level shortwave moves through. Otherwise, drying out overnight as weak front passes followed by NW flow and decreasing PWATs. This will lead to a mostly sunny day on Friday with diurnal CU developing as upper low resides to the north with relatively cold temps aloft.
Seasonable temps expected with highs low-mid 60s, except cooler higher terrain.
Dry weather continues into Fri night but another shortwave approaching from the west may bring a few showers mostly after midnight, especially in the interior.
KEY MESSAGE 2...Cooler this weekend. Risk for showers as a low pressure passes by offshore.
The big question for this weekend revolves around how closely a low pressure will get to southern New England. Projected mid level flow has a trough axis west of the Appalachians, with the consensus storm track over the Mid Atlantic into the North Atlantic. A subtle shift in the orientation of this flow could force a storm track closer to our region, with a great risk for showers Saturday Night into Sunday.
Expecting a low track about 125 miles SE of the 40N/70W benchmark at the closest approach of a low pressure Saturday night at present.
Latest consensus model output slightly increased rainfall chances across the Cape and islands, as well as portions of the coastal plains of MA and RI. Not looking at much rainfall when all is done by Sunday afternoon. Expecting amounts 0.10 inch or less north and west of I-495, with perhaps 0.50-0.75 inch across the Cape and islands. Will be monitoring the actual approach of this low pressure over the coming days.
KEY MESSAGE 3...Becoming warmer for most of next week. Although, unsettled conditions return toward the end of next week.
High pressure well to our south early next week should boost high temperatures into the 60s Monday and the 70s for Tuesday. Thinking it will remain mainly dry Monday, but then a cold front should pass by sometime Tuesday with a risk for showers. The greatest risk for showers looks to be sometime Wednesday night into Thursday as a low pressure moves through the Great Lakes and pushes a couple of fronts across our region.
